Fall Out Boy Knows Pop Culture Quiz

Answer: Sixteen Candles

"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me" was the third single off of FOB's 2005 album "From Under the Cork Tree". It is a lesser known song, having been slightly lost in the popularity of the previous two singles "Sugar, We're Going Down" and "Dance, Dance". The song was originally titled "A Little Less Molly Ringwald, A Little More Samantha Fox".

Molly Ringwald was the star of the 1984 movie "Sixteen Candles", and "Touch Me" is a song by Samantha Fox.

Answer: Yule Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid

"A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas" was a 2003 compilation CD whose profits went to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. All the song choices listed in this question are from that CD, but only "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid" was recorded by Fall Out Boy.

The title comes from the 1983 movie "A Christmas Story". In the movie, the main character Ralphie told his parents, a Santa at the mall, and a bunch of other people that he really wanted a Red Ryder BB Gun, always getting some variation of the response "But you'll shoot your eye out, kid!" Ralphie did get his BB gun, and he shot himself in the eye.

Answer: Grand Theft Autumn

The song "Grand Theft Autumn/Where is Your Boy" first appeared on the 2003 FOB album "Take This to Your Grave". The title was borrowed from the title of a song by Braid, as well as a record company founded by members of that band.

It also sounds like it comes from the series of "Grand Theft Auto" video games, in which players play as a criminal in a big city. The first "GTA" game was released in 1997, for Sony Playstation. It has since developed into other expansion packs and sequels, set in various locations.

Answer: Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet
